German Transport Law Reform of 1998

Robert Bijažić

Abstract

Reforms of German law of 1998 encompassed commercial, arbitration and transport law. In this paper, the author examines the last, dealing with the questions: what is the ratio of the reform and what consequences it had for German transport in practice, how the
reform was implemented, and what are the possibilities of a similar reform in Croatian transport law. The author examines the main issues which influenced the reform, the principles on which it was based, and the norms which implemented those principles, in
comparison with international regulation. Special emphasis is placed on cargo transport, carrier liability for damage and the possibility for the parties to regulate certain relations autonomously. The author also deals with multimodal transport and transport which is
significantly done by ship.
